Got the Kindle covered

I made a Kindle cover! I had some mini charms lurking in my stash and this seemed like a good thing to make with them. It feels a bit granny. But whatever. I need to use up what I have.

A couple of weeks ago I stitched the squares together. And today I decided that I needed to finish one thing. Just one thing! I’m having such a hard time finishing anything these days.

All I did was trace around this Timbuk2 one that we have. Blatant copycat, I am. It works. Why re-invent the wheel?

What I used as the padding is this Soft & Stable that I have had sitting around for quite awhile. At the time, the shop only had it in black. Not the best to use with white fabric. But it’s what I had. It’s got a little foam in the middle. It’s not as sturdy as the Timbuk2 one, but it’s quite a bit better than plain old batting.

This is great! Granny or not, nice to be using your stash, even the black stabilizer. I keep meaning to make an iPad cover….one of these days. I’ve used existing patterns like this many times. You’re not a copycat, just ‘inspired’ by a previous cover🙂

I’m having the same problem with finishing stuff lately. I got one thing finished yesterday and some gardening, so i will try to do the same today. I don’t think the kindle cover is granny, I love the colors, especailly the binding.

I too do not seem to be able to get anything finished so can feel for you. Love this little Kindle Cover. I have been wanting to make one for Hubby with a embroidered Raven or books on the front. I have been thinking about using car liner for the protection part of it. Thanks for the great ideas.
